More comfort and safety
for the operator
A comfortable, quiet and efficient cab is essential for operators
working long hours in difficult conditions. Bobcat cabs are designed
to optimize the use of space and provide maximum operational
effectiveness.

Visibility and comfort

Take a seat in a Bobcat loader , and you’ll notice the excellent all-round visibility and generous head-, waist-, leg- and
elbow-room. Drive it and feel how the seat suspension provides a comfortable ride. The cab can be fitted with an
optional heater (standard on A300) or air conditioning unit to create a more comfortable working environment.
On Bobcat skid-steer loaders, the operator has a choice of three different control patterns to meet their exact
preference. Safety comes standard with the Bobcat Interlock Control System (BICS). This system reduces the potential
for accidents caused by inadvertent manoeuvres.

Failsafe system monitoring
This system monitors vital engine and hydraulic system functions (such as coolant temperature, oil pressure and
hydraulic oil temperature). If a parameter is out of the normal operating range, both audible and visible warnings are
given. If the situation could lead to a critical failure, the machine immediately shuts down.

Deluxe instrumentation Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC)

Driven by innovation
Through a program of continual improvement, Bobcat
ensures its skid-steer and all-wheel-steer loaders offer
more in terms of increased productivity and versatility.

Designed for reliability and a long service life

At the heart of every Bobcat skid-steer and all-wheel steer loader lies the exclusive Bobcat transmission. This
transmission uses a “bow-tie” chain drive configuration consisting of two continuous loops per side using pre-stressed
120 HSOC drive chains for unmatched strength. Unlike other transmissions, this design requires no chain adjustment or
axle seal greasing. So, apart from 1000-hour oil changes, it is virtually maintenance-free.
Another Bobcat feature: The loader hydraulic pump is belt-driven, with spring-loaded idlers to maintain belt tension.
This system is quiet in operation, enables a long service life, and reduces maintenance to a minimum.

6 |
The next step
The Bobcat loader’s innovative new cooling system features SmartFAN™, a hydraulically-driven variable-speed cooling
fan that is more efficient in many respects. It cools better in extreme operating conditions, is quieter, and requires less
engine power. Driven by a hydraulic motor, the fan turns only when it’s needed, and is not dependent on engine speed.
Bobcat loaders continue to feature dual-path cooling, which draws cool, clean air from above the loader while pulling
hot air from the engine and hydrostatic area.

Change attachments while sitting comfortably

The Bob-Tach™ mounting system allows attachments to be changed quickly by the operator while working on-site.
And, with the optional Power Bob-Tach™, the operator can change non-hydraulic attachments without even leaving
the cab. Activated by a switch in the centre panel, the Power Bob-Tach™ levers can be opened and closed hydraulically,
increasing the versatility and productivity of all Bobcat loaders.

High flow
With the 151 l/min High Flow option, you can increase the hydraulic power available from your machine, enhancing
attachment capabilities and performance. With this feature, your loader will become your favourite tool for all-year
round use in combination with attachments such as the planer, wheel saw, Brushcat® rotary cutter, snow blower, wood
chipper, stump grinder and trencher. The “High Flow” function is activated by an electrical control switch conveniently
located on the left panel inside the cab.

Two machines in one!
With the Bobcat all-wheel-steer loader A300, you can choose at the flip of a switch between two different steering
modes to suit the job: skid-steer mode to manoeuvre in tight spaces and turn within the length of the loader or all-
wheel steer mode to reduce ground disturbance and tyre wear thanks to the 4 steerable axles.
With the Bobcat A300, you have in one machine the features and benefits of two different types of steering.

How does it work?

All-wheel steer mode Skid-steer mode
• Controlled by a single low-effort joystick. • Also controlled by a single joystick.
• The inside tyres turn at a different angle and speed than the outside • The wheels on the left side turn

• Both the right and left sides work together to minimise disturbance side, allowing the loader to counter-rotate

Steerable axles
Unique in design, the A300 combines in one machine the smooth efficiency of an all-wheel steer loader and the agility
of a skid-steer loader.

The illustrations below show the position of the steerable axles in all-wheel steer and skid-steer mode.

All the tools you need …
With Bobcat® compact equipment, you can do more work in less time
with fewer people. With the industry’s most reliable line of loaders
and more attachment options than anyone else offers, Bobcat has
the solution for you.

With Bobcat equipment, you can take on almost any task.

Site preparation — Has never been easier or more productive than today with Bobcat’s extensive range of soil
engaging attachments. From standard utility buckets to hydraulic powered graders and soil conditioners. Bobcat offers
proven solutions with the most advanced technology right there at your fingertips. Whether you are site stripping,
leveling the ground in preparation for seeding, Bobcat has it all! Bobcat equipment offers the size, power and versatility
needed to carry out tasks in limited access areas where larger equipment cannot be used.

Material-handling — No matter what you need to lift and carry, there’s a Bobcat loader and attachment to do the
job. A wide range of different types of buckets is available to handle everything from digging and earthmoving to light
materials such as removing snow in the winter. Heavy bulky materials like broken slabs of concrete and demolition
debris can easily be handled using either a bucket and grapple or fork and grapple attachment. And the pallet fork is
available to handle palletized loads.

10 |
Demolition work — A range of powerful, efficient hydraulic breakers using state-of-the-art engineering and
components make fast work of any demolition project. The unique tool holder design allows the demolition tool to be
replaced quickly and easily with Clip Bucket and Clip Ram accessories, the former used to clear debris from the worksite
and the latter to compact the spoil when refilling the trench.

Heavy-duty work — The largest Bobcat loaders are designed to tackle the most demanding construction projects. Cold
planers up to a metre in width make it possible to remove old asphalt and concrete fast and efficiently. With fingertip

controls, the operator is always completely in control of the machine and attachment, whether adjusting the precise
depth or inclining the planer for a sloped cut. Cutting a channel cleanly through asphalt and even reinforced concrete
up to 45 cm deep is no problem with the heavy-duty wheel saw.

Site maintenance — The sweeper attachment is ideal for general cleanup work where the material has to be collected
and emptied into a truck or hauled offsite. On the other hand, a rotary broom can be angled to either side to keep
sidewalks and access ways clear from mud and debris.

Landscaping work — No other compact equipment manufacturer offers such a variety of tools to do landscaping
work. Stump grinders, flail cutters, rotary cutters and mowers are available to clear stumps and thick overgrowth on
a new jobsite or for general groundcare and maintenance work along pedestrian walkways and roadways. Tools to
work and prepare the soil include the tiller, soil conditioner and landscape rake, the latter ideal for removing debris and
levelling the soil prior to laying turf.

Maintenance has never been easier
From the start, a Bobcat loader is designed for cost-effective ownership. The use of maintenance-free and low-
maintenance components is complemented with easy service access. All routine maintenance points are accessible from
one side thanks to the transverse engine, while the large swing-out tailgate provides access to engine check and fill
points, filters and battery.

Another design feature that assists maintenance is the quick access to hydraulic and hydrostatic components, gained by
simply removing two nuts at the front of the cab and tilting it up and back. Furthermore, the lift arms do not need to be
raised to service the machine.
